Obviously we have a lot of threads regarding buying gifts and getting ideas for other people, I was just wondering if anyones considered what you want for yourself for xmas?

I'm likely going to ask my OH for a disney villains puzzle and a dvd of the movie Robin and Marian (it has Sean Connery and audrey Hepburn in it). The rest is up to him but tempted to ask for little stocking filler kind of stuff rather than a big present with remaining budget x

I’d really like a Phillips Lumea and after thinking about it for years and dismissing it as too expensive, I think I’ll go for it this year.

I’d also like a really good quality pair of winter boots. I’m sick of buying cheap ones that barely last a couple of months and always let in the rain

Musidora · 26/08/2020 15:47

OP those sound like lovely presents, perfect for wintery days/evenings. (That's a great film!)

I haven't thought about what I want, but I'll probably ask for some things for the house. For ages I've wanted a really big beautiful teapot, as we only have a small one.

And maybe some new perfume.

Neom hand sanitiser! If I have to use the stuff all the time I’d like some that feels like a treat.
Maybe Lego Diagon Alley?Grin

Bonbon perfume, plan black nike trainers, skincare (probably glow recipe), candles

CandleWick4 · 26/08/2020 15:58

I’ve really liked a specific perfume for ages but it’s a bit pricey for me for a general purchase so I will be asking for that. I normally also ask for some skin care stuff.

@AnnaMariaDreams I highly recommend the Neals Yard one. A client of DPs bought him some as a thank you gift for trying to work as much as possible via zoom during lockdown and it smells amazing!

Youzam · 26/08/2020 16:16

A nice Coach laptop bag/ handbag for work

Alien perfume

Dior Capture Totale night cream

Moccasin slippers

AnnaMariaDreams · 26/08/2020 16:26

Thank you @Turnedouttoes
Love Neals yard stuff!

Adding nice sanitiser to my list!!

Snow. I ask every year, I'm not greedy just a light dusting of snow when I wake with gentle snowflakes falling throughout the day. Just Christmas day though, it can be gone for boxing day. I'm almost 45 and ive asked every year since I was old enough to write a wish list.

HappySpade · 26/08/2020 18:20

SMEG toaster and clothes steamer.

OrangeGinLemonFanta · 26/08/2020 18:25

Caffeine Eye Cream from the Inkey List, a pretty medium impact sports bra and an older model FitBit Versa. I always want posh citrussy bubble bath and scented candles too.

I'm struggling to stop myself buying the Funko Marvel advent calendar.

Lorddenning1 · 26/08/2020 18:28

I'm going to ask for a hair thing that grabs hold of your hair, spins it around and then you have perfect curls :) can't curl my own hair, my sister normally does it for me.

Ninkanink · 26/08/2020 18:39

We probably won’t do gifts this year, as we’ve moved into an old house recently and there’s lots to do.

But I might get a Barbour waxed jacket in the January sales.

Didiusfalco · 26/08/2020 18:44

We moved house not long ago, so I suspect money is going to be tight and I might end up with something practical, like a winter jumper. I would like some art stuff and some books too though.

CuteOrangeElephant · 26/08/2020 18:47

Lego Harry Potter Astronomy Tower to go with last year's gift Smile

Nanalisa60 · 26/08/2020 18:49

Who would have thought this time last year that we’d now be asking for fancy sanitisers for Christmas!

Roselilly36 · 26/08/2020 19:26

I don’t think more than a day in advance, so Xmas is a lifetime away for me. Gifts are unimportant.

FilthyforFirth · 26/08/2020 19:29

I haven't a clue! Baby due November so all the gin I think! Especially that clementine, goldleaf one M&S did last year, mmmmm

ChooksAndBooks · 26/08/2020 19:31

I've been on the hunt for a decent coffee machine that doesn't cost a fortune or use pods. If I can find something that fits the bill then that would be perfect!

@Roselilly36 this is the Christmas board. The topic on this board is normally about Christmas.

I’ve started a wish list in Amazon, hopefully by Christmas I will have forgotten what I have put on the list and get surprises that I want. So far I have positive affirmation cards, allergy friendly brownies, sheepskin slippers and a Joseph Joseph garlic press.
